Further Speaking of Al Giordano

This is what I was intending to show you when I got momentarily sidetracked by the Viva Obama video. This is also from The Field.

The Federal Elections Commission (FEC) now has the January financial reports in from the candidates. This is how much they raised, with links to the summaries filed by each campaign:

Obama: Raised $36.1 million, spent $30.5 million.
Clinton: Raised $13.9 million, spent $28.5 million

In other words, Obama operated in January on a surplus budget, raising $5.6 million more than he spent, while Clinton operated in January on a deficit budget, spending $14.6 million more than she raised.

The Clinton figure does not include the $5 million dollar loan she made to her campaign, for which she reportedly charged interest and, contrary to some press reports earlier this month, has not been paid back.

  The Field

If Narco News is any indication of what to expect from The Field, I think we can expect the nitty gritty on the election campaign there. Check it out.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
